Participants

Reaction Steps

To the mixture of 6.7 g (0.056 mole) benzotriazole and 7.4 g (0.056 mole) of trans-2-phenyl-cyclopropylamine in 150 mL of ether was added dropwise 4.5 mL (0.056 mole) of 37% aqueous formaldehyde. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was dried over calcium chloride, filtered and concentrated under pressure. Hexane was added under ice-cooled bath and the resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed with hexane dried to give 15 g of benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl-(trans-2-phenyl-cyclopropyl)-amine as an oil.
